Little man decorated his first "gingerbread house" last night! A sugar cookie version of Wayne Manor. He loves Batman and super heroes!
As you see this and other posts about the holidays keep this in mind.....
I just want to put it out there that while everyone is saying it's the most wonderful time of the year, it's totally okay if it is NOT the most wonderful time for you.....
Yeah I said it, the holidays can be hard.
There's alot of pressure in pur culture to have the perfect elaborate decorations, and buy the expensive gifts for all your friends and family. But what if you don't have the money for that? What if you're alone for the holidays? What if your family is far away? What if you work reatil and don't get to see your family for holidays? What if you're a Healthcare worker helping others but never yourself?
It's super easy to get burnt out during this time (I'm a Realtor and a Momma so I know, trust me)
All that being said, if you or someone you know isn't doing well during this season (or any season) just remember there are resources out there

If you just need a friend to listen CALL ME OR TEXT ME or DM ME!
I struggle with depression and anxiety and don't talk about it publicly much because it can be embarrassing. Especially as a business professional and mom who feels like she's supposed to have it all together.
PS loosing friends, acquaintances, community members to anything is hard. But it's especially hard when you feel like you should have could have would have done x y z for them but didn't. NEVER BLAME YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE ELSES ACTIONS!!! But also, let this be a reminder reminder check in with loved ones even when things are busy, ask your coworker if they really meant it when they said they're fine. Smile at the lady with the toddler in the grocery store. Wave at the old man on the porch. Do what you can every day to brighten the lives of people around you!
